This is an old recipe I created (with some inspiration for others) before I knew about my histamine intolerance so it's not good for anyone who is dealing with that issue! Some of the spices, the lemon, and the kefir (or yogurt) are all problematic if you have a histamine intolerance. I just looked for... Continue Reading →
I made socca (chickpea flour flatbread) it came out great. I was so excited as I eat nothing even vaguely bread-like these days. I made half of it with tomato and basil (for my husband....drizzled olive oil on top). This is a recipe that lends itself to variations. You can make it plain with no herbs or onion, or vary the herbs and use garlic instead. Caraway seed would be good too and I'm sure many other variations too. Oh, I can't eat cinnamon, but I can imagine a sweet version with cinnamon and vanilla and a bit of your favorite sweetener as well. Play with the recipe...I plan to! … [click on title for the rest of the post]
I've been sprouting beans and seeds quite a lot lately. It's a wonderful way to get extra nutrition from the same foods. I also recently added buckwheat back into my diet. Buckwheat is a seed. It is not wheat, nor is it related to wheat. It has no gluten. Once the buckwheat is sprouted you can dehydrate it on a low heat setting. (115 is good) It remains raw but it's crunchy like granola. Given I don't eat grains, I've been really enjoying this! … [click on title for the rest of the post]
I'm still learning how to eat since I went low histamine and part of that is learning to use some new foods in order to continue getting enough variety and nutrients in my diet. Exploring sprouting is one way I'm doing that. It's fun and it's actually something I've wanted to do for a long time but never got around to. Bean, seed and grain sprouts are one way to maximize nutrient density in these foods. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
This is a recipe for ONE serving. It's an easy recipe and doesn't take long at all. Double, triple, quadruple it as needed. 1.5 oz dry Soba 100% Buckwheat Wheat Free (this is the only brand I can eat as it's free of regular wheat -- buck wheat has no relationship to wheat so it's...

I've just started sprouting beans and seeds. Since I've had cut down my meat intake due to my histamine issues, I'm learning to maximize nutrients in veggie foods. Sprouting beans and seeds is one way to not only minimize phytates (natural toxins in legumes and seeds and grains) but also maximizes other nutrients and protein in the seed, bean or legume. ...

An Italian friend of mine and I were discussing the meals of our youth (we are both American-Italians) when she mentioned a dish I'd never had. Dandelion soup. I grew up eating lots of dandelion but it was generally sauteed in garlic and olive oil and then served as such. The simple sauteed dish remains my very favorite vegetable dish. We've been growing domesticated (wild) dandelion for a couple of years since I love itso much and could eat it daily. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
Wakami can grow over 30 times it’s dehydrated size so it’s also very economical along with just plain delicious. I've made various salad/mixed veggie dishes and they've turned out very well. I'll share the recipe of one of them. Feel free to get creative and do variations as that I what I've been doing. These are amounts for 2 people eating a meal sized salad, so just add more if you're cooking for more. … [click on title to read the rest]
I found some amaranth greens at my local asian market and made a lovely dish inspired by The Low Histamine Chef - I made homemade hemp milk instead of using coconut milk (as in her recipe) and in addition to the red onion and garlic I added fresh grated ginger and turmeric roots (and some fresh black pepper to increase the bioavailability of the turmeric)...it was very yum!

I've been learning to cook and eat all over again since I changed to a low histamine diet. The list of disallowed foods has changed drastically for me and I'm not eating animal products again for the first time in quite a long time (with the exception of ghee, which I make myself in my...
